Shock Drugs Flashcards
first line for shock
dopamine and norepinephrine
dopamine dosing
1-3 mcg/kg/min
3-10 mcg/kg/min
10-20 mcg/kg/min
low dopamine dosing receptors
mainly DA
some B1
low dopamine MOA
vasodilation of arteries (renal, mesenteric, cerebral, and coronary)
natriuretic response
low dopamine monitoring
evidence does not support use for renal protection
med dose dopamine receptors
mostly B1
med dose dopamine MOA
increase contractility and HR
med dose dopamine monitoring
can induce tachyarrhythmias
may complement vasoconstrictive effects of NE
high dose dopamine receptors
mostly a1
high dose dopamine moa
increase SVR
high dose dopamine monitoring
renal blood flow effects lost
NE dosing
2-20 mcg/min
NE receptors
mostly a1
some b1
NE moa
increase SVR
small increase in HR and contractility
NE monitoring
decrease renal perfusion
CO and LV function decrease at high doses
